So I made my dandelion tea. Smells not quite as bad a comfrey but only just,
Took about 3 weed to make a thick looking goo from a bucket full of assorted dandelions, not much root. I diluted it.
Did not want to kill off a prized plant so fed it to several weeds: a patch of nettles, an unknown weed and some death nettles. A few days later, hey all look healthly.
Dandelions are supposed to be high in potassium,
The remaining dandelions I will put under the raspberries as a mulch. Hopefully it much discourage the cleavers which are starting to germinate.
The are lots of dandelions around. the paths between plots are covered in them as are the empty plots. So I am so far pleased with this.
